Course 7.5 credits • UKRB15
The course covers the Ukrainian society of today from political, cultural and identity-related perspectives against a solid historical background that illuminates how Ukrainian culture, identity and agency have emerged in the linguistic and religious borderlands of the Russian, Hapsburg and Ottoman empires. The course focuses particularly on state and nation-building in post-Soviet Ukraine since 1991 in a larger regional context and places a strong emphasis on identifying the factors that led to Russia's war against Ukraine.
The course is offered as a distance learning course and uses an online learning platform and digital tools and resources. The student is required to participate on these terms and have access to a computer with an internet connection. The teaching consists of recorded lectures that are made available successively during the course. The lectures use the required reading as a starting point and are thematically focused on specific issues. The assessment is based on a take-home exam.
